Answer to Question 1

B
Leuprolide is an antiandrogen. When testosterone is reduced, sexual desire is decreased. The statement that sexual desire has practically disappeared suggests that the medication is having the desired effect. The distracters are unrelated to the desired effect of this drug.

Answer to Question 2

A
